The yen strengthened past the significant 150 level against the dollar, driven by expectations of a narrowing yield gap between the US and Japan. Following stronger-than-anticipated Tokyo consumer price data, the currency surged nearly 1% to 149.999, marking its highest level since October. This movement was likely intensified by low liquidity due to the US markets being closed for Thanksgiving.
Asia-Pacific markets are poised to open mostly lower as investors digest Tokyo's November inflation rate of 2.6%, up from 1.8% in October, and South Korea's industrial production increase of 2.3% year-on-year in October. Japan's Nikkei 225 is expected to decline, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 has started marginally lower. In contrast, futures for Hong Kong's Hang Seng index indicate a stronger opening.
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. is exploring a bid for Japanese robo-advisory firm WealthNavi Inc. to enhance its financial-technology capabilities. The bank plans to discuss the potential acquisition at an upcoming management meeting, although no decision has been finalized. Reports suggest MUFG may initiate a tender offer.
Tokyo's inflation accelerated to 2.6% in November, driven by rising food prices and the reduction of energy subsidies. Consumer prices excluding fresh food rose 2.2%, surpassing economists' expectations of 2%. Following the report, the yen strengthened against the dollar.
Asian stocks are set to open lower on Friday, with Japanese shares down about 0.2% and Australian stocks falling 0.3%. In contrast, Hong Kong futures are slightly higher after a decline in Chinese benchmarks. Treasury cash trading resumes in Asia following the US Thanksgiving holiday.
Boryszew S.A. generates revenues primarily from the motorization segment (PLN 1.66 billion) and chemicals (PLN 161.59 million), but faces challenges with a high payout ratio of 486.5% and a volatile dividend history. Recent financial results indicate a net loss for Q3 2024 and declining revenues, raising concerns about future dividend sustainability. In contrast, St. Galler Kantonalbank offers a stable dividend yield of 4.5% with a payout ratio of 57.1%, while Taihei Dengyo Kaisha has a 2.99% yield and a 27.6% payout ratio, indicating better coverage by profits.
Asian markets showed mixed results amid global economic uncertainty, with Japan's Nikkei rising 0.8% and the Topix up 1.0%, driven by a weak yen. In contrast, China's Shanghai index fell 0.3% as investor sentiment remained fragile due to fears of a potential tariff war linked to US policies. Notably, Tokyo Electron surged 6.45%.
India's equity markets are emerging as a rare bright spot amid global turmoil, with the Sensex up 0.62% in November and the Nifty 50 down just 0.15% in dollar terms. In contrast, major developed markets like France's CAC 40 and Germany's DAX have seen significant declines, highlighting India's resilience as the most stable market outside the US.
A senior member of the Democratic Party for the People, Motohisa Furukawa, stated that the Bank of Japan is unlikely to make abrupt policy changes that would disrupt budget discussions. He emphasized that while the economy faces deflation risks, the central bank should avoid hastily raising interest rates during this critical period.
